Let the good times roll.
The grand prize is a motorcycle – which is better than cheques….
Its a cheap way out – they’re paying out at wholesale that you can only redeem at retail.
Cash can buy you gasoline, tires or entry for your next race, and a Timmy’s on the way home.
“Just give me money, that’s what I want…”
Although anything is better than nothing I suppose…
“Team Green Contingency Credits and the Team Green Grand Prize.”
Kinda like awarding Canadian Tire money – what’s wrong with handing out cheques ?
